Chapter 853: Origin

Speaking of the dispute between the merchant and the Mo family, it is still as 'dirty' as the second Xiao Dian said. The words that the shopkeeper said were vague, but they aroused Mu Ling's interest.

This is how the century-old family has made enemies, but what is the specific reason?

It's always curious.

"No matter where you go, I'll accompany you wherever you want." Liang Chu looked at her dotingly.

Left and right are just out to relax, as long as she is happy, no matter what.

Mu Ling really laughed happily: "That being the case, why don't we step on the spot first and see the situation of these two?" ”

She is looking forward to mixing this Dragon Boat Festival into a mess of muddy water!

"Okay."

Liang Chu didn't hesitate, took her hand and stood up, and walked down the street together.

Because of the advent of the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole town is very lively. There are many small vendors on both sides of the street, shouting and selling their goods, and the streets are full of people coming and going.

The two walked all the way and bought some snacks on the street. Liang Chu held it in his hand, and Mu Ling ate happily.

Since there is a Dragon Boat Festival and because of the tributaries of the Mijiang River, the Mijiang River is definitely lively now, and maybe you can still see some scenery that was not there before.

The two did not linger long in the noisy streets, and went straight to the Mijiang River.

Surprisingly, there are not many people by the Mijiang River.

I heard that the Dragon Boat Festival will be held tomorrow, and the dragon boats are well protected by each family, and they will not be carried out until the event. This is also in case an opponent destroys his own dragon boat and affects the competition.

The excitement is tomorrow, but today is much cleaner.

The Mijiang River, where Mijiang County is located, is considered to be a relatively soothing area, and the river surface is also very wide. A bridge in the center stretches across the river, which is very magnificent.

"Tomorrow there will be many people standing on the bridge watching, and I don't know if this bridge will be able to withstand it." Mu Ling looked at the bridge with some concern.

Liang Chu smiled and led her to the bridge: "Let's go and see first." ”

It's not the first time that the Dragon Boat Festival has been held here, and it's not the first time that people on this bridge are crowded to watch the dragon boat race.

But since she brought it up, it was better to put her at ease.

The bridge is a stone bridge, and the bridge deck is supported by a whole stone pillar in the middle, and the railings are built on both sides, which is very strong.

Standing on the bridge and looking at the turbulent river below, Mu Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Sure enough, water is a good scenery." ”

"The benevolent love the mountain, the wise man enjoys the water, my Ah Ling is so smart, I want to be close to the water."

"I also have a good heart." Mu Ling emphasized.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, her methods have always been only aimed at those who are traitors, and she will never implicate innocent people.

For her more serious emphasis, Liang Chu couldn't help but laugh for a while, and reluctantly agreed: "Yes, yes, my Ah Ling is unique, how can this mountain and water be comparable to Ah Ling." ”

"You have a good eye."

"Thanks for the compliment."

These two people are rivals when they praise each other.

At this time, there are not many people on the riverside, the scenery is indeed very good, looking down at the river surging, Mu Ling couldn't help but think of the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival in the previous life, so he turned his head and asked: "Why is there a Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

In her impression, the Dragon Boat Festival in her previous life was because Qu Yuan jumped into the river, and it was because of the Dragon Boat Festival that there were zongzi.

But there is no Qu Yuan in this era, and now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little wonderful.

"Huh?" Liang Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with some amusement, "Because of the midsummer climb, Shunyang is on top." May is midsummer, the first noon day is the best weather to ascend Shunyang, so the Dragon Boat Festival is the best to remove bad luck, Shunyang to remove poison, etc., there is such a solar term. ”

It turned out that she didn't know.

Mu Ling was dumbfounded when he heard it, because the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival actually had nothing to do with any historical celebrity. The reason why folklore is related to those is just because those people are in a hurry to do things on this festival.

This coincidence is really embarrassing.

"What do you want to say?" Liang Chu turned his head to look at her.

He quickly noticed the subtle changes in her mood, as if the origin of this Dragon Boat Festival made her very deflated.

Thinking of this, Liang Chu's eyes couldn't help but become more and more spoiled, stretched out his hand to take her to him, pointed to the surging river of the Mijiang River, and said, "Look at these." ”

"It's all water." Mu Ling is very sincere.

She is still struggling with the Dragon Boat Festival.

A chuckle came from overhead: "I mean, on a midsummer day, the river is getting bigger and bigger. It is because they want to row a dragon boat and use the power of the dragon to deter these turmoil. ”

"Huh?"

"It's just a way to appease people's hearts, otherwise how would the court allow it." He laughed.

As soon as this was explained, Mu Ling's heart was more relaxed.

felt comfortable, and those who had just thought about it also had the heart to say: "In fact, we have a very magnificent regret story about eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

"Oh?" Liang Chu raised his eyebrows, willing to hear the details.

"It is rumored that the world is in turmoil, the land is divided, and the princes are vying for hegemony. There is a country called 'Chu'. There is a doctor named Qu Yuan in the state of Chu, who has a noble character, is loyal and patriotic, and is not incompetent. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, such people will always get in the way of some people, so that the traitorous ministers walked in front of the monarch and spread rumors, so that Qu Yuan was suspected and condemned by the king, and finally threw himself into the river and died. ”

"It's a decent person, but his skills are a little worse." Liang Chu's evaluation is very pertinent.

He was a king, and from his point of view, he could be a minister, but he didn't want to be such a man who would end his life so easily. In any case, this is a loss to the country, the king was just confused for a while, and when he came to his senses, he only regretted it, and he could no longer obtain such a capable person.

People who really have a big heart must know how to hibernate and wait for opportunities to make the most of their value.

That is the luckiest thing for the king and the country.

"And then?"

Liang Chu turned his head and continued to ask, he couldn't think of a loyal minister who had anything to do with a kind of food.

Mu Ling seemed to see his doubts: "The river is turbulent, and I can't salvage the body." Qu Yuan was loved by the people, and the people were afraid that the fish in the river would bite Qu Yuan's body, so they wrapped the glutinous rice with zongzi leaves and boiled it and threw it into the river, so that the fish could eat zongzi. Later, slowly, it became us who ate zongzi. ”

This is also the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival she heard, and it is still a little embarrassing to talk about it now.

It turned out that she had changed a time and space, and the things that were all too familiar were already far away from her.

Liang Chu looked at the nostalgia in her eyes, and his eyes were deep.
